قسط 71: Quinly Peartree نے تحقیقات کے دوران Cary Mantle کو زہریلے سوڈا سے قتل کر دیا

71

Cary Mantle meets an untimely end when he drinks a bottle of Guts-man Soda laced with poison and collapses dead in front of Richard, Rachel, and Conan while out for a walk. They later learn he was a stalking a young woman named Quinly Peartree. They meet Quinly and speak with her and Conan notes white flakes falling from her hands as she rubs them together. After a thorough investigation, Conan stuns Richard and reveals that Quinly did murder Cary. The bottle had a sticker for a competition that had long since passed, and the one she actually paid for was still in the vending machine when Richard got one. She covered her fingers in glue, explaining the white flakes, to avoid leaving fingerprints and used the stalker's psychotic affection for her to drink a poisoned bottle. Defeated, Quinly reveals she feared for her safety as Cary pushed her down a staircase after she called the police. Conan also reveals that Cary planned to kill her on that day evidenced by the assorted weapons in his bag. Even with this, when Quinly poisoned Cary, she made him the victim. The court will see Cary's bag as circumstantial evidence and her charge will be premeditated murder. (Source: Wikipedia)
